Fox Orders Animated Series DUNCANVILLE

Fox has ordered a new animated comedy, DUNCANVILLE, from executive producers Amy Poehler and Mike and Julie Scully.

Per Fox, “the series centers on the life of Duncan, a spectacularly average 15-year-old boy, his family and friends. Poehler will provide the voice of Duncan and his high-strung mom, Annie, who is constantly trying to prevent her son from ruining his life.” The series also stars Rashida Jones and Wiz Khalifa.

“DUNCANVILLE is one of the freshest animated concepts we’ve seen, and has an insane pedigree of comedic talent across the board,” said Michael Thorn, President, Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company, in a statement. “We’ve enjoyed a long, incredible run with Mike and Julie, and everything Amy does is pure genius. Having the voice talents of Rashida and Wiz join her makes this show the complete package. I can’t wait to have them all together when we add DUNCANVILLE to our growing animated slate.”

The comedy, which will air during the 2019-2020 season, has an order of 13 episodes for its first year.
